Situs™ LV
Steroid eluting left ventricular leads
Implantation made easy
- Lubricant coating: Facilitates sliding of the lead through the guiding catheter.
- Distal horn: is pointed to the left, facilitating the catheterization of lateral veins.
Stability and performance due to a unique design
- Orientation curve: matches the curvature of the coronary sinus and lateral veins, to allow optimal positioning of the tip toward the epicardium and keeps lead in a stable position.
- Contact curve: the distal curve acts as a spring inside the lateral vein, holding the tip in permanent contact with the vein.
UL28D: large vein
UC28D: small vein
The exclusive dual-curve design allows the operator to position the lead in the proximal part of the lateral vein, where the best thresholds and best ventricular synchronization are generally obtained*.
There are 2 curve profiles available for the SITUS, to fit different anatomical configurations:
Guiding catheter removal procedure
- Single-diameter connector: the guiding catheter of the Situs LVAS kit can be removed simply, along the line of the lead, enhancing the safety of this procedural step
- IS1 sleeve: after guiding removal, the IS-1 sleeve transform the single diameter connector in a standard IS-1 connector.
